Yes, definitely ask! I understand that it might feel "better" if she did it spontaneously, but I don't think that if you ask that it downgrades the thoughtfulness or genuineness of what she would give in any way. Plus, I know I'd be more disappointed if I didn't ask and didn't receive anything.
Moving is so, so hard. I had to leave a wonderful therapist of a year and a half because I was moving, and it was really difficult. That was almost six years ago now, and I still think about her. Thankfully it's not difficult anymore - and I did find a new therapist to connect with down the road. Is that something that you've thought about?
